Ep. 10: Healing Against The Odds: The Science of Spontaneous Remission | Dr Jeffrey Rediger
We rarely explore, discuss or research “spontaneous remissions”. These cases don’t fit neatly into a box, they’re unpredictable and they’re also relatively rare. But there’s no doubt, they do occur. Whilst many doctors believe these cases are simply “fluke”, Dr. Jeffrey Rediger has spent the past 17 years collected case histories of people who have managed to heal and recover from terminal illness. Interestingly, he has found a number of commonalities in their approaches which he has documented in his incredible new book, Cured: The Life-Changing Science of Spontaneous Healing.
In this episode we explore:
Why cases of spontaneous remission are so challenging to study
How Dr Rediger has changed his own life as a result of studying these cases
The key pillars identified in his research
How nutrition, the immune system, reducing stress, love, beliefs, faith and identity all contribute to healing
The importance of an individual N=1 approach to healing
And so much more…
